What is raffia?

Raffia is the young leaf of the Raffia Palm tree that grows naturally in the coastal valleys of the world’s fourth largest Island, Madagascar. Inherent flexibility, mild water resistance, and a beautiful natural lustre make the raffia fibre ideal for handcrafted accessories. All Helen Kaminski and Kaminski XY raffia designs are created from high quality ecologically harvested Madagascan raffia.

What is the difference between raffia and straw?

Raffia is far superior material than straw. The natural resin in raffia provides supple durability when raffia is braided, woven, or crocheted. This natural flexibility makes raffia hats and bags a traveller’s best companion, allowing styles to be rolled and refreshed, time and again. Straw, in contrast, is often brittle, rough, and less durable, and has a shorter product life.

How should I care for my raffia hat?

In a world of disposable fashion, Helen Kaminski strives to make products that last. Products can be refreshed and renewed with simple steps. Please refer to the product care page for details. http://www.helenkaminski.com.au/product-care
